National Forest Heritage Trail

Cycling through gorgeous countryside, your cycling holiday will take you to some of the historical highlights of the area. A visit to the National Trust properties of Stoneywell and Calke Abbey, together with a trip to the 1620's house, will provide an insight into life in the area at different times in history. Find out more about transport in days gone by at 2 heritage steam railway lines and boating life on the Ashby Canal. Jump straight into the modern day with a trip to the world's largest collection of Grand Prix cars at Castle Donington. Burton upon Trent has always been key to the UK's brewing industry. A visit to the National Brewery Museum offers an opportunity to learn about the history of beer – and of course a tasting! Guests on this electric bike holiday can also explore England's less peaceful past, with visits to Ashby Castle, Bosworth Battlefield and the National Memorial Arboretum.
